Jovana Backovic is a Serbian born composer and a vocalist performing traditional music from all over the Balkan region: songs in which young maidens speak to birds and flowers, love lost on the battlefield, waiting for dear ones to return and feeling of nostalgia for the country one has left. This performance will weave together songs from Hungary, Serbia, ex-Yugoslav Macedonia, Greece, Bulgaria as well as old Sephardic melodies.
Born and raised in Belgrade, Jovana has built her artistic career in the UK while maintaining a strong connection to Serbia. Her experience as a migrant artist, living between two cultures, continues to shape her creative practice and commitment to international collaboration.
